A notebook where you have a lot of fun.Components from which the laptop is made up of squares are good. Out of the box, only the usual registration and updates to finish and deal with this speed freak. Asus has a solid and beautiful design taken care of.

In fact, I was looking for a Ultrabook from Asus. In the Netherlands, there is little choice if you go for Asus choose. In house we have 2 ultrabooks and after careful consideration we have all decided a 15 inch laptop to buy in the higher segment.
Comparatively much cheaper and more complete and also for the office work is an Ultrabook, sometimes too small. An older laptop that for the spreadsheet work was used gave up the ghost and then it was easier for the Zenbooks left. Beautiful lightweights. In a version with enough memory, a fast processor and ample storage space.you pay at least a few hundred euro more and it continues to occasionally make do.
Design.
Sleek design. Beautiful brushed aluminum lid. Speakers are nicely hidden. No points in which I had the feeling, that there is not well thought about. Even keyboard verrlichting if desired. An eye catcher if you have the competition viewing. It is important for the fine on the laptop work. Well personally I am very satisfied. Toetsherkenning and attack are above average.
Components.
Memory standard 8GB in my case more than enough.
Hybrid hard drive of 1024 GB of which 24 GB SSD is more than sufficient. A model with only a SSD drive was the preferred one, but I was not in the program, important for me was that he would soon start. Not as fast as the recently purchased Microsoft Surface Pro 3, but it is estimated you have 20 seconds to get started,
Sound from the speakers and subwoofer were not previously of this quality.
Connections to a sufficient degree. Simply missing nothing.
Dedicated video Card that may not be the allersnelst, but the performances make me not disappoint. Now I must confess that I am not a gamer am.
The screen is Full HD IPS mat and is very clearly legible. The colors look beautiful as your photos or watching a movie.
Noise level.
He is still new and is not firmly put to work, but then you hear yet the hum of the cooler. Not annoying, but with the Surface Pro 3 or Macbook Air, I can hear really nothing. The recently deceased Dell laptop, it showed more noise.
Heat level.
Not previously had a laptop for many hours in a row like so cool remained.
In that sense, however, is very pleasant.
Performance.
Yes, I have a feeling that the Surface Pro 3 a bit faster for normal office use. That you can might not be such a heavy burden as this laptop, but for office work is an I7, however, exaggerated hear. I go to my photo editing and video editing a bit more pick up I think. That was on the old laptops really don’t do.
Battery life.
Yes the device is just new and is not yet firmly attached to the tooth is felt, but more than 5 hours he gets. This I had honestly not expected.
A whole day of strike such as with a Zenbook is not there so the charger must come with me if you from home.
Resume.
Fine laptop to work with. Sits at the top of the middle class. Beautiful and ergonomic design that is also fine for multi-media applications can be used.
